The installation process does not install the source tree. You have to do this manually. You have two options:
  • Expand src.tar.gz & sys.tar.gz found on the official CD set, or obtain these files from /pub/OpenBSD/4.3 at any mirror.
  • Download the source tree from CVS. CVSync mirrors are discussed at the following:

    http://openbsd.org/cvsync.html
Regardless of which manner you choose, you will need to study Section 5.3 of the FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld

...very carefully before starting the process of building the kernel.

Again, NTFS support is experimental. Reading from a NTFS partition is a reasonably safe venture. Writing to a NTFS partition may be problematic depending upon what version of NTFS is used.
